TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Alex Rodriguez is ready for the next step in his rehabilitation program.

Rodriguez got 13 at-bats in a simulated game and did situational work at third base at the Yankees’ minor league complex Sunday. He had right knee surgery July 11.

A-Rod said the plan was for him to have an off day Monday and then play in a game Tuesday night at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The three-time AL MVP did not rule out rejoining the Yankees for the start of a series Thursday at Minnesota.

“I’m looking forward to the next step and just staying one day at a time,” Rodriguez said.
